New Delhi [India], Dec 3 (ANI): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has yet again targeted Rahul Gandhi and his party's 'feudal mindset' in retaliation to his series of tweets holding Prime Minister Narendra Modi accountable in connection with developmental work done in Gujarat.

"Those who cannot differentiate between burger and 'baingan' (brinjal), 'pyaz' (onion) and pizza, and cake and 'kela' (banana) are asking questions," Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi told ANI adding, "They don't want to work and struggle on the ground level, but expect to reach the top in politics with their feudal mindset."

"Congress party and Rahul Gandhi have become synonyms of political nonsense, and people who are indulged in political nonsense ask such type of questions," he added.

He also refused to answer Congress vice president's question, saying the government is only answerable to the public.

"People of the country ask questions and we duly give them the whole account of our three years of work, but we are not answerable to Congress," Naqvi added. (ANI)
